KHD raises Earnings Forecast for fiscal year 2026

Cologne, Germany, August 4, 2026 – KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG (KHD), Cologne, Germany, is raising the KHD Group’s earnings forecast for the 2026 financial year in light of the positive development of the earnings position in the 2025 financial year to date and the updated corporate planning.

Revenues are forecast to be about 30% (previously: about 20%) above the previous year’s level. In contrast to the outlook published in March, which expected the (adjusted) operating result (EBIT) and the (adjusted) EBIT margin to be below the previous year’s level, KHD now plans significant improvements in the 2026 consolidated financial statements for the (adjusted) EBIT and the (adjusted) EBIT margin compared to the 2025 financial year.
